Use ubuntu-system-service to set systemwide proxies #255

Closed davidmhewitt closed 3 years ago

davidmhewitt commented 4 years ago

Supersedes #95

Fixes #37

This is required to get Sideload and the Flatpak part of AppCenter working behind a proxy without users having to edit config files and environment variables by hand. It also makes the necessary config changes so that the apt CLI and others like curl work.

Adds a new meson option to disable the function as it has a runtime dependency on ubuntu-system-service and requires polkit as an extra dep.

The patch to use ubuntu-system-service is not present in gnome-control-center after Bionic so I wonder if we should introduce any dependency on it yet

@davidhewitt Converting to draft as there are unaddressed issues and tintou raised a question as to whether it should be merged yet. Please reopen for re-request a review after updating when you are ready.
